L’Heure Bleue Eau de Parfum captures the moment when day shifts into night, a deep blue sky dissolving into the horizon. The blue hour—charged with momentum and boundless possibility—inspires this amber-floral fragrance, offering a crisp, crystalline freshness that rests on the velvety softness of lily and the comforting warmth of vanilla. At its center lies iris, the house’s emblematic bloom, here expressed through a specially crafted iris tincture paired with delicate iris butter to reveal the flower in full. The scent is housed in the iconic inverted heart bottle from 1912, reimagined with a blue gradient, gold lettering, and a blue ring crowning the cap—an object meant to be refilled and to endure.

Heart notes: The iris, in a bespoke tincture combined with iris butter, wrapped with a marshmallow accord and jasmine for a soft, luxurious bloom.
